Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to Treasure Island 

Ferry Dock Project, San Francisco, 

California 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; withdrawal of an 

incidental harassment authorization 

application. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the City and County of San Francisco, 

California (San Francisco) has 

withdrawn its application for an 

incidental harassment authorization 

(IHA) to incidentally harass marine 

mammals during construction activities 

associated with the Treasure Island 

Ferry Dock Project in San Francisco, 

California. Accordingly, NMFS has 

withdrawn its related proposed IHA. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Dwayne Meadows, Ph.D., Office of 

Protected Resources, NMFS, (301) 427– 

8401. Electronic copies of the original 

application and supporting documents 

(including NMFS Federal Register 

notices of the original proposed and 

final authorizations, and the previous 

IHA) may be obtained online at: https:// 

www.fisheries.noaa.gov/permit/ 

incidental-take-authorizations-undermarine-mammal-protection-act. In case

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

10, 2021 NMFS received an IHA 

application from San Francisco for the 

taking of marine mammals incidental to 

the Treasure Island Ferry Dock Project 

in San Francisco, California. The 

requested IHA would have authorized 

take, by Level B harassment only, of 

seven marine mammal species as a 

result of the specified activity. NMFS 

published a notice of the proposed IHA 

in the Federal Register (86 FR 28752) on 

May 28, 2021. On July 13, 2021, NMFS 

received notice from San Francisco 

withdrawing their IHA application for 

the proposed action after they had 

completed all of the pile driving 

associated with the project and before 

the expiration of their prior IHA (85 FR 

44043; July 21, 2020). Therefore, NMFS 

has withdrawn its proposed IHA for the 

action.
